WHAT ARE WE AIMING FOR?

21st of March 2020

A top of the morning to you all on this first day of homeschooling for CEIP Octavus.

First let's remind ourselves of what we are trying to work towards.  These are our goals:
  • Write neatly and clearly for the reader to understand
  • Have work completed and well presented
  • Spell most key words correctly - spelling test
  • Write simple sentences to express common everyday situations
  • Read with increasing confidence, speed and accuracy
  • Listen to questions and respond (orally) appropriately.
  • Develop further decoding skills to read previously unseen words (soft c/hard c  - soft g/hard g)
  • Participatein class disscussions, presentations and debates etc.
  • Maintain attention for increasingly longer periods of time
  • Develop and broaden vocabulary through reading, watching TV ...

Also
  • The children are learning to recognize their mistakes in their own work.
  • The children are learning to use present tense and simple past tense verbs.
  • The children are learning to write longer sentences with the correct structure.
  • The children are widening their knowledge of root words, prefixes and suffixes.

And there's more!  Children should become increasingly aware of, and pocess a greater understanding of GRAMMAR TERMINOLOGY

My Dog Ate My Homework Ken Nesbitt My dog ate my homework. That mischievous pup. Got hold of my homework and gobbled it up. My dog ate my homework. It’s gonna be late. I guess that the teacher will just have to wait. My dog ate my homework. He swallowed it whole. I shouldn’t have mixed it with food in his bowl. — Kenn Nesbitt www.poetry4kids.com CHILDREN TO TRY READING THE POEM FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES EACH DAY.

POETRY PROJECT - week 2 - Poem - BOD, MY FAT CAT

BOD, MY FAT CAT My name is Bod, He´s really very fat. His stomach´s on the floor, And he can´t get through the door! He eats and eats and eats, He just never seems to stop. And when we fill his bowl, Note even one morsel does he drop! His fur is very black With white bits on his face. But he spends most of the time, Curled up in his favourite place. He never runs around, Or sneak or pounce or jump. My big fat cat called Bod, Really is a lazy big fat lump! https://fizzyfunnyfuzzy.com CHILDREN TO TRY READING THE POEM FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES EACH DAY.
